Reformed church
Sights & Landmarks
Large neoclassical Protestant church dating to 1824, with an original 19th-century organ & 2 towers.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful and historical cathedral in the city centre. I used my civil servant discount which makes it even better. You can walk around and admire the interior, stained-glass windows, pews and alter. Or just have a quiet moment of contemplation and prayer. Further upstairs there is the historical church bell and original timber roof. And at the rooftop you get magnificent sweeping views of downtown Debrecen. You can see the trams coming and going, the European architecture and people going about their business. From outside the cathedral is magnificent. Amazing photo opportunities from close or faraway and there is a small park you can sit in and admire the architecture.
Nothing special inside the church. The best was Rakoczi bell and the view from the church tower. It seems not to be very popular, but I think it is nice to see it especially if you aren't protestant.
I have to say, it is very pretty from the outside, this iconic church is worth visiting, I went inside and went all the way up and I really liked it, there is an elevator for you to go up, but there's also stair, I wouldn't recommend them, friend and I decided to use those and regretted the entire time, just because they are pretty old and narrow, still, we had so much fun, and the views are amazing. Also, the staff was really nice and gave us a couple of instructions for us to see the entire thing. I have to mention, it is not free to visit the inside, but I can't remember how much it was, but I thing it wasn't really expensive and they accepted both cash and card.
For HUF 1200 entry you get to explore the church and take a lift up to a panoramic view of the city from the roof between the towers. Recommend taking lift up and stairs down. Check out the space above the ceiling. Something you don't often get to do.
Great cathedral with a panoramic view of the city up in the tower. Entrance is paid but good value for money, takes at least half an hour to explore and enjoy to the fullest. Built at the beginning of the 19th century it's not that old but it's the most important cathedral for Reformed Magyars, the Counter-Reformation couldn't bring this community down and neither could the Communists
This place is located at the top of the main central promenade running through the city and is therefore the dominating feature. Unfortunately due to a musical event I wasn't able to go inside, however I took some nice exterior video and photos.
I was on holiday with my family and we visited this famous carneval what have been placed every year to celebrate of State Foundation Day.We really enjoyed a lot of entertainment and flower car.I highly recommend to everyone if you want to see something special.
The top most floor enables an all round view of the city centre from the terrace. It's got some really interesting pieces of art inside.. There's an entrance fee for tourists. It's a highlight for the beautiful city that's Debrecen.

(Translated by Google) The professional attitude of the employees working at the Board of Directors is not appropriate. Humans are not counted as human beings, they are only treated as puppets. The website contains outdated and invalid legislation, which strongly calls into question the professional standard.

Slide 1 of 8
Went in June to this place, lovely around, surprisingly good urban garden, for a walk or go off grid and enjoy nature. Suitable for kids playground and adult chilling’ .
Peaceful woodland park, with a small lake, lots if forest trails to explore, fish & ducks along with a small amphitheater and some statues dotted around. Located nearby the university campus. Busy on the weekends with families and students. Wonderful spot with fresh air and greenery.
In my opinion this is the best part of Debrecen. In one park you have everything you can imagine- aqua park, shops, restaurants, tower, zoo and university. Picturesque park to walk around with a pond that has amazing fishes and turtles. Access is easy but not so much parking. We were lucky to find a place to park in the underground parking garage.
Beautiful and peaceful. It’s family friendly too.
Such an amazing park! Landscaped to perfection and very well looked after! It was nice having a stroll around, but many people and locals were also sitting on benches and on the grass. In fact, there were so many people just on a mid-of-week spring late afternoon. Would definitely recommend a walk in the area when in Debrecen.
Perfect park I have seen. It's like an matryoshka, one park within the other, side by the forest and closer to the university! Relaxing & enjoying the sunshine, watching the fishes, ducks and fountains! It's also a park near the concert place!
If you visit Debrecen you must visit this park. It's just beautiful, calm, relaxing but full of People. You can go during the morning or during the night, it's alawasy beautiful! The most beautiful part of Debrecen is that it's full of nature, from the airport till this beautiful park. Enjoy!
An amazing park!!! It is a beautiful park, wide, a lot of branches and magical corners, flowers, ducks and of course the forest itself! A cute wooden playground and a place for coffee and snacks!!!

Is really nice with lots of animals too see. Unfortunately we couldn't see them all, because mose of them in the winter time are in-house, but overall very nice. Worth it for a day to have a nice walk.
We had a wonderful time, and my little boy loved seeing the animals. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We visited on Sunday, and just a note – they close at 16:00 PM, not 17:00 PM.
Best zoo in Hungary - lots of nature (trees and forest paths to keep you cool in the hot days), with plenty of seats to rest when needed; you get quite close to the animals (when possible); interactions with birds and others; you can purchase feed for some and go in to feed them. Animals seem in good shape and happy, too. It's beautiful!!!
I loved that it was quiet. So families could enjoy it at their own pace and have a clear view of the animals. But their could be more in between the zoo in my opinion. The amusement park area needs a bit of love but the kids had a decent enough time. Nite even if you by the ticket that includes the amusement area ( this is only for entry) you still have to buy tickets for the rides you want to take
Nice zoo, kids park is adjacent to it and rides costs separately so be prepared. I think the zoo would be better if they offered one package which includes the kids rides even if it means higher prices, but to each their own. Still a good place to plan family activities.
Very nice zoo with variety of animals and amusement park next to.
We were impressed! More than we expected! So many different animals that I couldn’t see somewhere else. I loved the giraffe, hippos, red panda, zebras, monkeys and other animals. Felt a bit bad for the tigers tho.
Super sweet zoo in Debrecen with lots of cute animals and caring staff. We would return anytime 🙂 especially loved the giraffes, the penguins and the little monkies! Rabbits are so sweet too. It is an adventure park next to the zoo, also worth to see it.
Déri Museum

Art, archaeological & ethnographic collections on display in a neo-baroque 1920s building.
Slide 1 of 8
My absolute favourite place, takes me more than 3 hours to go through all the exhibitions. Very interesting and informative, especially loving the Munkacsy paintings. The staff is knowledgeable and so kind, they know when to step on if you have any questions, and the last part where they are showing the 1944 bombing made me very emotional.
The Déri Museum in Debrecen offers a carefully curated journey through death, memory, and contemplation. The Egyptian section explores funerary rituals in depth, especially the mummification process: removal of internal organs, desiccation with natron, ritual bandaging, and protective amulets. Immediately afterward, the Japanese gallery provides a sharp, intentional contrast. Here, death is not denied but accepted as part of life's transient flow. The ambient sound — minimal music with a shishi-odoshi-style ticking — creates a meditative, timeless space. The Hungarian painting hall (late 19th to early 20th century) features compelling works, especially with horses and natural settings. However, many paintings are displayed in dim lighting, and descriptions are often missing in English, making the experience harder for international visitors. The emotional and spiritual peak is the Passion Trilogy by Mihály Munkácsy. In Ecce Homo, Pilate presents the scourged Christ to the crowd — a moment of theological intensity and moral judgment. In the final scene, the Crucifixion, the key traditional figures appear: Mary, John, Mary Magdalene, and Roman soldiers. Munkácsy turns the canvas into a true moral theatre, rich in pathos and layered interpretation. Highly recommended for visitors seeking depth, not just display.
Although relatively small, this museum is a gem. Here you can see beautiful paintings, old prehistoric artifacts, Japanese art, old traditional Hungarian objects, different biological exponents and so on.
Some very interesting exhibits with nice touch of the floors and walls modelled according to the theme. Didn't take many photos because security guard stayed 2 metres away in most interesting exhibit. Beautiful grounds and building.
I don't know why but I imagined this museum would be a little below par...how wrong was I?! It's a brilliant little museum! The exhibits are really well displayed and offer good descriptions that are not too long so they don't become laborious to read and follow. Adult entrance fee was 2800HUF which is approximately €7.50. Well worth it for a few hours spent here
Discover the Déri Museum in Debrecen If you're ever in Debrecen, Hungary, and are a fan of museums and different cultures, a visit to the Déri Museum is an absolute must. As someone who has personally enjoyed visiting, I can attest that it's a truly beautiful and worthwhile experience. The museum's impressive building alone is a sight to behold, but the real treasures lie inside. The exhibits are incredibly varied and well-curated, offering a deep dive into art, history, and ethnography. You can wander through fascinating collections that span everything from ancient artifacts to stunning fine art. One of the most notable pieces is the painting Christ of Golgotha by the renowned Hungarian artist Mihály Munkácsy. This masterpiece is breathtaking in person and is a highlight of the collection. Beyond the famous artworks, you'll find exhibits on local history and folk traditions that provide a rich insight into the region's heritage. The Déri Museum isn't just a place to look at old things; it's a place to learn and feel inspired. The layout is easy to navigate, and there's always something new and interesting around every corner. It’s a wonderful place to spend a few hours and highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the beauty of history and art.
I love it so much😍 I can upload more pictures, but no go and discover its beauty by yourselves. What I liked more is the Ancient Egyptian civilization part. We studied this civilization at the University, so it is nice to see what aspects we studied in real life🥰 agents and workers there are super nice to international students and they speak English Thank you❤
The Deri Museum is one of the most prominent and oldest museums in Hungary, located in Debrecen. The museum was founded in 1912 by the local humanist, Frigyes Deri. The museum has a vast collection of Hungarian and international art, historical artifacts, and natural history specimens. The museum's art collection features works from famous Hungarian artists, such as Mihály Munkácsy, László Mednyánszky, and József Rippl-Rónai, as well as international artists, including El Greco, Rubens, and Titian. In addition to art, the museum also houses historical artifacts, including weapons, costumes, and coins from various historical periods. Overall, Deri Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in Hungarian history and art. The museum's impressive collection, beautiful building, and knowledgeable staff make for a truly memorable experience. Would like to see more English information, there was very minimal

I visited recently and I was pleased with the shopping centre. Nice and clean, lots of shops, cinema and one of the best Exchange in town.
Small but clean and elegant. It has a great Aldi shop, Pepco and other nice shops. In the Christmas, there's a lot of people selling souvenirs and handicrafts. In general, it's good.
Really impressed by the ongoing renovations—since the remodeling, the place feels much more alive and modern. The shops are generally okay, though a few seem a bit out of place. The fixed parking fee regardless of time is a bit annoying, but you can get the first hour free if you shop at Aldi or go to the cinema, which is a nice touch.
This is a nice plaza situated in the center of the city, you can find a lot of things in there such as cinema, bank, aldi grocery and other clothing and phone shops in it. Nice plaza to shop in.!
Most of the European brands are available. Affordable and good quality.
If the cinema is busy you cannot get out from parking, when you reach the gate you have to go back to automat to pay additional fax because you did not left the parking after initial payment. The toilets is also paied..
The only place we found Nespresso capsules, on Saturday late afternoon.

Do you like ice skating? Then this is your place, on the Kossuth square ice rink in the historic main square of Debrecen. Festive atmosphere, fabulous lights and guaranteed fun await you. Don't you have skates? No problem. You can also rent it on site.
Kossuth tér Square is magnificent all year round — full of sunshine and life in summer, and truly magical in winter during the Christmas season. It’s especially lovely to stroll here in the evening, when everything sparkles with lights and you can warm up with a glass of fragrant mulled wine with orange and spices.
Nice square with statue of Kossuth and huge cathedral behind. Popular spot to see the sights.
That was A W E SO M E
(Translated by Google) Lajos Kossuth (1802–1894) was one of the most important Hungarian political leaders of the 19th century, freedom fighter, journalist and statesman. He was one of the defining figures of the Hungarian War of Independence (1848–1849), who led the independence efforts against the Habsburgs, and was one of the early formulators of the idea of ​​the modern Hungarian state. (Original) Kossuth Lajos (1802–1894) a 19. század egyik legfontosabb magyar politikai vezetője, szabadságharcos, újságíró és államférfi. Ő volt a magyar szabadságharc (1848–1849) egyik meghatározó alakja, aki a Habsburg-ellenes függetlenségi törekvéseket vezette, és a modern magyar állam eszméjének egyik korai megfogalmazója.
(Translated by Google) The statue can be viewed freely. On the lower level of the Reformed church next to it, there is an interesting Kossuth exhibition, worth a look. (Original) Szabadon megtekinthető a szobor. A mellette lévő református templom alsó szintjén van egy érdekes Kossuth kiállítás, érdemes megnézni.
(Translated by Google) A statue representative of the city and its history. You can discover interesting things about Debrecen by searching for more information about this monument and its importance. (Original) O statuie reprezentativă pentru oraș și istoria orașului.

Best museum ever. Personal was incredibly passionate about the expositions, and the expositions themselves were really really interesting. I absolutely recommend it. At the moment it's also full of really sexy rocks, which is always a plus.
If you are a tourist and a modern art buff then maybe you will enjoy this place. I didn't like it at all and think the admission set at 10 euros is ridiculously high for half an hour of strolling through stuff I didn't enjoy but I can definitely understand that they charge that because they must keep up the museum somehow. It is quite surprising that this museum exists in Debrecen to begin with. If I were to rate my own experience it's probably 2 stars but I don't want to bring their rating down so I'm giving it 4. I didn't like the staff constantly watching over me like hawks, I mean there are museums exhibiting art half a millennium old and they don't have this attitude
Nice enough modern art gallery. I like that they focus on local artists rather than international ones. Lots of information to read and absorb. Its a good one hour option if you're nearby. Friendly staff and welcoming staff I had free entry which was nice.
Stylish place of modern contemporary arts - visited for a scientific conference; well-organized event, opportunities of visiting the exhibitions, good cafe on ground level, very polite staff. Worth to visit - recommended.
Two very good and excellently curated exhibitions are on at this modern art gallery. The gallery has lovely spaces to view art and a good café downstairs to relax.
Cool place. Recommended. Ran out of time to properly go in but friendly service and nice looking place with a range of exhibitions.
Visit feels like north Korea, your guard is never more than 3 meters away.
Amazing and fabulous place , lovely atmosphere for enjoying watching and observing , amazing painting and art works from deferent areas and aspects, kids can play in the kid zone area , and watch their own zone , great hall with great restaurant inside , chairs are available and lots of bike spots , there are many occasions taken place here every year specially the summer which the area remains for many days for having different activities and fairs

The park itself is sprawling. There are several different zones, one of them is dedicated to physical activities. Some may say that it is an army style, but my child relished it. Helmets and protection gear are distributed for free. Also, there is an artificial lake, so catamarans and boats are offered to enjoy nature from the surface of the lake. In all, the park is good enough to spend 3-4 hours.
Great location to spend time with kids. Lots of things to do and the time will pass by very quickly.
Nice place for the kids , they enjoied a lot. Petty to close so early and i can not give more stars due to the rudeness of the lady at the bar of the foto, telling us "ITS CLOSED" almost screaming when we came to ask for water at 17.40pm while the park was still open. I leave here the picture of the bar where she works.
Communist park, some things work, most of them not. Even the 5d cinema is a bad joke. They keep your children in Sun, stuff not there in time, they only say.... SOON... and SOON again... they not care of your kids. Not even a fresh paint. No ATM (with COINS), they say all things are included in ticket, but you have to pay for all most every thing... with hungarian coins.... but you cant find coins anywere!!!
Very expansive Not a lot of activities for adults. A lot of coin-activities do not work properly.
We’ve visited this place for the escape room activity. First, they arrived late although it was nice that they apologised and offered us access to an additional escape room called the sauna. It was simple with not many clues and fairly easy to escape. As our main escape room, we’ve chosen the pharaoh themed one. It has three rooms you need to escape from. The first one has several clues and you need to collect 4 numbers that will open up the secret door. The room is spacious but the decor doesn’t have much to do with the pharaohs or ancient Egypt. Also, the items are pretty used and run down, one of which we were supposed to give us a number but it was broken so at the end they needed to gave us the number. And for another number we just guessed as we didn’t find the clue. The second room has a better design, it kind of looks like an ancient Egyptian burial chamber but again it looks very run down and many of the items in the rooms are broken and old. We needed a bit of help with this one but after that we quickly managed to open the door. The last room is not really a room and has nothing to do with ancient Egypt. It’s a small cell and all you need to do is put a few numbers on a phone and the cell door opens. We didn’t even need to search for clues and only needed 20 seconds to get out. And that’s all. Overall, I’ve found the experience pretty disappointing, the design of the place is pretty cheap and the clues you need to solve are either very simple or just not very logical. There were some times we didn’t understand why things opened. On a positive note, the staff was nice and served us some drinks during the activity. However, for the price we paid I’ve expected way more. I think you can find much better places for an escape room experience.
Great experience, kids were delighted! A lot of things for all ages. There is a restaurant there and a couple of fast food options also. Clean and big toilet. Parking is just 500 hfu per day.
Loved it! It is small but entertaining.

Astonishing museum that is located in one of the buildings most significant for the Hungarian nation where on March 15 1848 they proclaimed their independence from the Habsburg Empire. That date is still celebrated by Magyars to this day so visiting this museum will set you on a path to understanding the history of Hungary
Very interesting history museum on Debrecen and Hungary. The library and building are fascinating but it is the history of Hungary, well captured in the exhibits on display, that make this a museum worth visiting.
It was a very good place to visit!!
At the museum there was not a lot of people to welcome you in and show you where to go, we came one hour after the opening, we paid for the tickets and then we just went where ever we wanted and accidentally entered the actual college where the students learning We found someone who finally opened for us doors that lead us to the actual rooms of the museum. In addition nothing was written in English, only when we saw that man who opened for us the doors he gave us few pages with explanation.
I have never been there, but my friend has been there

Universities are the Temples of our fredom of mind. One of the most impressive University building in the world, and open for visit for the public. It is a must visit in Debrecen, and you will be impressed. In this case, just Seeing is Beliving.
Applying to the University of Debrecen was a big step for me, and I honestly don’t know how I would’ve managed it without the incredible support from the Regional Office in Debrecen and Ms. Laiba especially. From the very beginning, they were helpful, responsive, and incredibly kind. They guided me through every part of the application process—explaining the requirements clearly, helping with document preparation, and making sure I never missed a deadline. What truly made a difference was the extra mile they went by offering preparatory classes. These sessions weren’t just helpful—they were essential. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the classes gave me a real head start in understanding the academic expectations at the university. It also gave me the chance to build confidence and connect with other students before the semester even started. Thanks to the Regional Office, I felt supported every step of the way. Their dedication made the transition smoother and helped me start my journey at the University of Debrecen on the right foot.
Nice grounds to walk. I liked the architecture of the main building and the lawn area. Lots of statues, rest areas, campus buildings, couple of cafes too. Large park nearby and a tram stop too.
The university is amazing either as a location or its education system. I have been here for a month as a Ph.D Erasmus student from TUL, Cz to the Chemistry Department. My mentor, workers, all academic personnel are really nice, helpful and all the above, have the full knowledge. They all have their motivation and friendship among them. If I were to be chosen here first, for sure I would like to continue and live here, in the city. Maybe it's not correct to compare with the TUL, there are not many restrictions to the lab which is the most important thing if you have to work in the lab. The university, menza, location, Hungarian ppl, city, everything about here I love it. I am sorry to say that but except for their dormitories. Rest is great for temporary students. If you are a permanent student, it's a bit of a difficult dorm condition.. I'll tell you about it in their comment section ;)
An amazing building, especially at night! It looks majestic, and they say the library inside it is awesome; I haven't been there before. For any visitor to Debrecen, it's 100% a must to come here and enjoy the place.
We came as tourists, just to see the impressive building, because there is not much to do in Debrecen. I think it's a great thing to do if you're here, and from the university you can continue to the nice park nearby.
Very nice and big medical school. A large campus and excellent faculty are the great pride of this school. In addition, the doctor's license obtained after graduation is recognized in many countries including Europe.
University of Debrecen. Really beautiful building and the main room on the inside is stunning. It happens to have some markets on the inside.

Sights & Landmarks
18th-century Catholic cathedral featuring twin bell towers & ornate baroque decor inside.
Slide 1 of 8
Typical baroque Catholic church dating from the 18th century with additions from the 19th (the two towers) and the 20th (the entrance). It seems recently they did some revamping because it looks brand new and it's quite enjoyable inside.
The core architectural style of this beautiful Catholic Cathedral is 18th Century Baroque. I wasn't expecting it to be open when I passed by on Saturday, but the opening hours are incorrectly shown by Google, I've submitted updated opening times. Beautiful Frescos on the ceiling and many ornate shrines/altars along either aisle. Someone was playing the organ when I visited which was very nice to hear. Definitely worth a visit.
In Debrecen, everyone know about the Great Reformed Church, but not many know about this one. I recommend paying it a visit :))
I been there in saint Anne church debercen it's beautiful old church.
Classic catholic church. It's open all day, comparing to many others in Europe which are often closed last years or have fee for entrance...
The architecture of cathedral is amazing. 18th century catholic church. On sun day i had been here.
Beautiful and calm. The copy of the Shroud of Turin is interesting and beautiful.
Exterior looks simple nice and the double belfry adds beauty into it.

Old historical synagogue in debrcen
(Translated by Google) Debrecen, Pásti street synagogue, downtown. The synagogue was built in 1893 and officially inaugurated in 1902. Some institutions of the local Orthodox community operated together with the status quo religious community. The community did not have the strength to renovate the building damaged in the war, but only to preserve its structure, but the church continued to function until 1984. Full restoration can begin in 2012. In 2015, the orthodox synagogue in Pásti Street was reopened in its full beauty. (Original) Debrecen, Pásti utcai zsinagóga, a belvárosban. A zsinagógát 1893-ban építették fel, majd 1902-ben avatták fel hivatalosan. A helyi orthodox közösség néhány intézménye a status quo hitközséggel közösen működött. A háborúban megrongálódott épület felújítására nem, csak állag megóvásra maradt a közösségnek ereje, de a templom 1984-ig így is működött. A teljes restaurálás 2012-ben kezdődhetet el. 2015-ben újra teljes szépségében nyílt meg a Pásti utcai orthodox zsinagóga.
(Translated by Google) The Debrecen Orthodox Synagogue was built in 1893, but its official inauguration took place only in 1902. The building was damaged during the war, and after 1945 there was no adequate financial background for its renovation. In 2001, a partial renovation was carried out, as part of which the facade was renewed along with the roof structure. Since then, it has been operating as a venue for permanent and temporary exhibitions and cultural events. (Original) A Debreceni ortodox zsinagóga 1893-ban épült fel, de hivatalos avatása csak 1902-ben történt meg. A háborúban az épület károkat szenvedett, és 1945 után felújítására nem volt megfelelő anyagi háttér. 2001-ben részleges felújítást hajtottak végre rajta, aminek keretében megújult a homlokzat a tetőszerkezettel együtt. Azóta állandó- és időszakos kiállítások, illetve kulturális rendezvények helyszíneként üzemel.
(Translated by Google) Finally I got in. I was always interested in Jewish history, culture and everything related to Jews The tour guides were very nice. The time I was able to spend there was short. I hope I will have more time next time and can see everything thoroughly (Original) Végre bejutottam. Mindíg is érdekelt a zsidók története, kultúrája és minden ami a zsidókkal kapcsolatos Nagyon kedvesek voltak az idegenvezetők. Rövid volt az idő amit ott tölthettem. Remélem legközelebb több időm lesz és alaposan megnézhetek mindent
(Translated by Google) The ancient synagogue of Debrecen is active on holidays, adjacent to the synagogue there is a synagogue that is active every day (Original) בית הכנסת העתיק של דברצן פעיל בחגים, צמוד לבית כנסת יש בית כנסת פעיל ביום יום
(Translated by Google) Nice synagogue People of the past held prayers every day!! Blessed are you Israel... Even there there are a number of Jews (Original) בית כנסת נחמד אנשים של פעם מקיימים תפילות כל יום!! אשריכם ישראל... אפילו שם יש מנין של יהודים

Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
The best market offers a lot of fun and a variety of goodies.
It is a 2 storey indoor market. We'll, although not all the stall were filled, you can feel the local vibes there where farmers sell their produce. Ate my breakfast there and yes, it's good!
It's great place for groceries shopping. You can find a wide range of prices ranging from high to reasonable to cheap Not all sellers accept Card payment, You can find the butchers who sell fresh meat there and they accept Card as well. In the second floor you can find some egg sellers and all kind of seeds and peppers
We liked it very much the wide variety and good quality of products, sellers are nice and it's clean and tidy. Also A/C is on in summer months which is a good point.
Almost 5 star market great products here not cheap but can find everything parking very bad unless you fast and done within 1 h that is free at upper carpark
Great place to shop groceries and other materials
Loved this place for all types of vegetables and fish, chicken which I can buy even in little amount
U can find vegetable, fruit, meat,chicken, diary products, bread.... like every other market
